"وهران" meaning in Arabic

See وهران in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /wah.raːn/
Etymology: The word derives from the Berber root 'HR meaning lion. The name is attested in multiple Berber languages, for instance as uharu and ahra. A locally popular legend tells that in the period around 900 BC, there were sightings of lions in the area. The two last felines were killed in a mountain near the city of Oran, which is now known as La montagne des Lions ("The Mountain of Lions"). In fact, there are two giant lion statues in front of Oran's city hall, hence the twin lions' mountain is Oran's symbol.
